Chapter 1199: Our Selina

Leng Jinjie was a member of the Pei family, after all. The Pei family was not just any ordinary second-tier wealthy family. Although the Chi family had already drawn a line with the Pei family, the support behind the Pei family was not as simple as having the Chi family as their only backer. The daughter of the Pei family, who was also Pei Jiaxiang’s paternal aunt, was now the daughter-in-law of the Shi family. The Shi family was a first-tier wealthy family who was powerful enough to go against the Chi family. Although the Shi family came last place among the Four Dominant Families, this ranking was outdated. The current Shi family was no longer the same as before. Even the Ning family and the Xiao family had been on the receiving end of the Shi family’s shenanigans several times.

Therefore, even though Selina was the Duke of Luntan’s daughter and the vice president of Imperial Phoenix Group, Leng Jinjie was not afraid to go against Selina.

However, it was just a casual remark. Leng Jinjie would never dare to hire someone to mess with Selina. Disregarding the fact that this woman was so powerful that no ordinary person could take her down, the Pei family would rather not fight her either out of consideration of her identity.

Therefore, Leng Jinjie simply nagged at Selina because Leng Jinjie pitied her son.

However, Selina would never let herself suffer any form of grievances. Hearing Leng Jinjie was about to say something else, Selina was ready to retort immediately. Yet, it was her Young Brother Leng who intercepted first.

“How can this be called vicious? Don’t tell me you won’t swat away a fly that keeps buzzing in front of you and trying to stick to you? It’s the same for Pei Jiaxiang. Who does he think he is? What right does he have to greet our Selina? In the past, I’ve tolerated you when I thought you were my aunt and they were my cousins. However, now I know that you were adopted by my grandpa—you’re not even part of the Leng family. Furthermore, my grandpa has already unilaterally cut off the relations between you and the Leng family. Naturally, I won’t treat you as my relatives anymore. Remember what Selina said. In the future, get Pei Jiaxiang to stay away from our Selina. If he tries to get close to her again, he’ll be beaten up every time he shows up. Consider this time a preview of what’s to come.”

Leng Jinjie could not do anything to Selina in the first place. Plus, this stubborn Leng Qirui had never paid Leng Jinjie and her group any attention, so Leng Jinjie wanted to stop arguing with them. Of course, that was also because she heard something else from Leng Qirui’s words.

“Who did you say was adopted? Your grandpa said that because he’s mad at us and wants you to inherit all the shares. How can you take it for real? You’ve reaped such great benefits and you still want to take things further!”

“Grandpa, she doesn’t believe me. Hurry up and show her the documents.”

Since his eldest grandson had spoken, how could the old master not obey?

Old Master Leng then gave his secretary a glance, and the latter immediately passed Leng Jinjie the documents on their adoption, along with the information on changing Leng Jinjie and Leng Jinchen’s names.

The lawyer, Mr. Ma said, “Madam Pei, you and your sister, Wang Chen slash Leng Jinchen, were adopted by Old Master Leng 42 years ago. At that time, you were already 2 years old, and there were photos of you in the orphanage in Emperor District. These photos were taken when Old Master and Old Madam Leng adopted you and your sister. This was the contract they signed with the director of the orphanage in Emperor District.”

To be honest, it had never occurred to Leng Jinjie, as well as Pei Jiaxiang, Leng Qifeng, and Leng Yutong that accompanied her over, that they were not part of the Leng family.

Even though the old master announced through the video that he had cut off ties with his two daughters, they still thought that he did it out of a spur-of-the-moment anger.
